[Sca-cooks] interrogation cheese and Trader Joe's

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

As I recall, it's Meadowkase, a Dutch cheese. But it might (naturally  
enough) be seasonal.  Not sheep's unfortunately. (Fromage de mai and  fromage de 
gain - supposedly from the fall - are found in various medieval  texts.)

My own favorites at Trader Joe's are their kale, their Greek  yogurt (with 
honey or mangoes), their almonds, their Vina Chilenas wine (only a  buck 
more than the famous Two-buck Chuck and way better) and their langoustine  
tails. They actually have some good pre-packaged meals too. Their olive bread is 
 pretty yummy too, though I miss the days when they had a real whole wheat 
loaf  as opposed to the multigrain (but not of course whole grain) loaf 
which replaced  it.

The Enseignemens qui enseingnent a apareilier toutes manieres de  viandes 
is a 13th century cookbook; I've translated it as "How to Cook a Golden  
Peacock".

There is supposed to be a Trader Joe's  opening up on the other side of 
town from me this fall. Two closer ones later in  2014.

How would I identify this particular cheese? I assume  "Enseignemens" is 
the name of the text, not the cheese.

Can folks tell me  what other items should I look for in my occasional 
treks to Trader Joe's after  they open?
